I think the eye candy will be stunning. I wonder what extra advantages they will have "art direction wise", with the extra power, the handcuffs are almost off now, they will (do) have so much extra room to create a stunning masterpiece, not to even mention the extra power to add in wonderful new gameplay twists and expansive set pieces....

I also hope we get to hear about there other "IP"...Exciting times ahead for sure...

Killzone 2 was this generations best FPS followed by COD4: Modern Warfare. The online was an absolute delight. The clan system worked so well and the matches were so much fun. There is no doubt in my mind that if this is true, we're looking at a system seller.

There are few franchises that i wanted for PS4 at launch, Klllzone was in the top. Picture yourself the graphics!

If you think about it, this makes perfect sense atleast in marketing terms.... KZ4 for PS4.

Agree that Bad Company 2 was delicious in terms of multiplayer, especially the destruction. But i still believe the clan system in KZ2 was so excellently implemented that it made the game so much better. The "team" vibe in a multiplayer match in KZ2 was so great. The modes were also better than Bad Company 2, in comparison they made the game that much more balanced in KZ2 than Bad Company 2.

Cod4 defined MP shooter this gen. BC/BC2 opened up the genre as far as depth. Battlefield 3 ended the generation. Dayz defined how far we've come.

Killzone 2 implemented game modes that have been in place for years. sluggish controls and low fps ensured the Killzone franchise remained average this gen. A next-gen Killzone title will consist of a higher resolution, higher AA, HD textures and 60 fps. You'd be surprised at the night and day difference this would make. don't expect much else. I also doubt they shoot for 60fps.

I'll be picking this up day one then. Killzone 3 is still a game that I play fairly often, and its definitely one of my favorite multiplayer games this generation. I just hope the single player is a bit better this time around.

That has to be a joke. There's nothing balanced about Killzone 2's multiplayer. First off, there's upgrades as you level up. Meaning already more experienced players have more abilities, weapons, etc. That's pretty much the definition of unbalanced. Not to mention 1hit body shot sniper, running around at 800mph, invisibility, looking like the other team, sentry guns / turrets, etc. That multiplayer is built for fun (if you find all of that to be fun), not for balance or competitiveness. Balanced multiplayers are ones where everyone starts the match the same, no matter their level, on a mirrored map ala Resistance: Fall of Man. The only separation then is skill (or scruby 1hit gameplay) and experience.

I currently went back to get some MAG trophies. That's another game that would be a joke to be called balanced. A level 70 starts the match as Superman compared to a level 1. Not only is a level 70 clearly more experienced, but they can move faster, run faster and longer, have 20% more health, are more resistant to damage, have stronger and more accurate weapons, can heal faster, their knife (melee) could be stronger and faster, they can track you while not showing up on your radar, etc.

On topic, definitely intererested in PS4 (likely a day 1 buy) and KZ4.

I actually enjoyed the first KZ more than the rest. I loved playing as different ISA members. Going in stealthy or gunz blazin. I also thought Templar was better than Sev...and the maps were much more open than both KZ2 and KZ3.

They need to bring back player choice and the chapters in KZ4. Basically make a next gen KZ1...

I dont think Killzone 4 will be out in 2013, itll be a launch title for for when the PS4 is released in Europe/US in 2014

Im only basing that on Japan not liking fps that much, and most of the Killzone fanbase is in Europe/US

Id feel like Guerrilla Games are giving me the finger if its released there before here, we would appreciate it and want it more, you wont see a Final Fantasy game being released in Europe before Japan

ps4/nextbox will never play a game in 4k, movies, maybe, probably not....games, you'll be lucky to get 1080p native in 70% of games, many will be less

expect 2-3 year old gamin pc quality and your in the ballpark of what next gen will offer, still a huge leap over ps3/360, but people thinking ps4 nextbox will even be in the same league as a gtx 680-690 with 12gb ram and an i7 2600k

lol....keep dreaming, a modern pc will run circles around ps4/nextbox, you'll see as soon as those multiplats drop, the pc will FAR outperform the consoles just like last gen, every game, everytime, with WAY higher resolutions, better aa, af, dof, ssoa..ect..e.ct...ect...

imo KZ2 gameplay and gfx were much better, KZ3 was very confusing, it was a cluster F, still a nice game but it copied CoD, KZ2 had a different feel than CoD, Im a huge CoD fan but i like other things to be different

the enemies in KZ2 felt huge, every enemy encounter in the SP felt big, the helghast felt larger than life in KZ2, it reminded me of TUROK 2 enemy feel, KZ3 had waay to many enemies and die very quickly and cheaply just like CoD enemies

have to disagree kz2 class balance was much better way more options and you could mix match classes. Also the game seemed to play better and didnt feel cluttered or that anything was OP like jet packs and the saboteur class. And with no complete health regen (it stops at 60% for normal and 100% for assault it payed to be a team medic to give players health. Way more team oriented IMO

I would like it to be true but I've never even heard of the site the rumor started on so I don't trust it. The site just sounds like someone paid a fortune for the domain name. They have a relatively small following (6000 twitter followers, 0-3 comments per article).

I'll just wait until the 20th to see if it's true or not before getting my hopes up.

How many more killzones is sony going to cram down our throats? This has to be five or 6 since the ps3 release. They have all gone down hill since two and if this one does as well sony should shelve this franchise for a long time imo.

I wouldn't want Guerrilla games to rush the development of killzone 4 i want it to be the best it can possibly be. I hope KZ4 is more like the KZ2 in turns of playable vehicle sections (alot of them)and story structure. Though i think GG need to hire a bigger team for development similar to 343i with guys from id(DOOM) which i think have awesome level and weapon design skills. And possibly guys from Half life and DICE ( with their awesome sound effects). Also i feel GG need someone like Corrinne Yu she did great work on Halo4.

.... It does not state this year at all in the article. It states Launch Window which could be up to 6 months after launch really. I expect Febuary 2014 we see KILLZONE 4 launch. Why? Well GG has a habit of launching Killzone titles around February since KILLZONE 2, but that doesn't make it impossible.

I hope KILLZONE 4 multiplayer is a little better with better map design. KZ2, and KZ3 were just arena maps. Its time to expand beyond that with more open maps.

I don't want the "same qualitative level of KZ2 CGI trailer that they showed at E3 2005." I want it to be bigger, better and in real time, like they have been doing on all the games they have shown so far that are coming this year on the PlayStation 3.
